I received an email from Michael Moorcock that Barrington J. Bailey died yesterday from bowel cancer. He was 71.

When I published Barry on RevSf, we exchanged several interesting emails. He was generous with his time and his work. Barrington J. Bayley, a talented and unheralded writer, never got the break he deserved. He is survived by his wife Joan and two kids.
